Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

Newcastle University researchers discover exercise rapidly alters blood chemistry to support DNA repair in colon cancer cells ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

A brief, intense workout may do more than boost fitness—it could help fight cancer. Researchers found that just 10 minutes of ...

Evidence suggests regular exercise can help tackle cancer, and a new study finds that cancer-fighting biological changes can ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...
